Autobuy is a price where if someone pays it they automatically get the texture and if anyone else has bid for it they don't get it. Example:
Starting price: 15k
Minimum raise: 5k
Autobuy: 50k
As for convincing people to buy your sets, make it in a style people will like and they will buy it. Or respond to people's texture requests, that way you will know how to create it and in what style.
